Scotland's leader faces a week of high-stakes talks to keep his job after the coalition's collapse

Scotland’s leader is facing a week of high-stakes talks to save his job and reenergize the country’s independence movement after he torpedoed a coalition with the Green Party by ditching a target for fighting climate change. First Minister Humza Yousaf, whose Scottish National Party has been weakened by a campaign finance scandal and divisions over transgender rights, may have to offer concessions to a breakaway nationalist party with just one seat in the Scottish parliament if he is to stave off an early election. The turmoil will culminate later this week when Scottish lawmakers vote on motions of no confidence in Yousaf and his government.
